Topic: "From My Heart"

I cannot remember a time I was not thinking about music in some form or have a tune of my own floating around in my head. Being an energetic and enthusiastic young child I would spend my days, much to my mother’s malcontent, singing just about anything you could think of at the top of my lungs and getting on her very last nerve, which by the way managed to really increase my young vocabulary. This is a song about that and how it was not such a bad problem to have after all.

From My Heart By Jeff Gilpin


February 26th, 2008




Chorus

You [D]know I could have [A]sworn


That on the [D]day that I was [A]born


I didn't [D]cry a song was [A]torn


From my [Bm]heart


From my [G]heart


From my [A]heart




Verse 1


[Bm]I've been singing since I could re[D]member


Not [G]always good but [D]always full of [A]joy


[Bm]Being shushed since I was a [D]kinder


For [G]being such a loud little [A]boy




Chorus

Be[D]fore too [A]long


I'm be [D]humming another [A]song


Because the [D]music was [A]strong


In my [Bm]heart


In my [G]heart


In my [A]heart




Verse 2


[Bm]There've been days that weren't so [D]happy


[G]Felt like my [D]heart had broke in[A]to


[Bm]But even that didn't [D]stop me


[G]Still singing songs when I was [A]blue




Chorus

I'd [D]sing when I was [A]sad


In[D]stead of getting [A]mad


[D]Music was what I [A]had


In my [Bm]heart



In my [G]heart


In my [A]heart




Verse 3


[Bm]I never knew quite what [D]I had


A [G]power that would [D]always get me [A]through


[Bm]Nothing ever could hurt [D]me bad


[G]Because I always [A]knew




Chorus

[D]To sing my [A]song


And I'd [D]keep on going [A]strong


Now the [D]music's lived so [A]long


In my [Bm]heart


In my [G]heart


In my [A]heart




Verse 4


[Bm]Even now I still can [D]get away


And [G]try to funnel [D]out what I [A]can


[Bm]Capture what's floating in my [D]head today


Like [G]listening to my private [A]band




Chorus

And they [D]play my [A]song


As I [D]try and play a[A]long


Singing [D]loud and singing [A]strong


Straight from the [Bm]heart


From my [G]heart


With all my [A]heart [D]
